Jimmy, Nazz, and Cindy were hanging a poster in the hallway as they were leading a play together.
"This is going to be awesome." Cindy smiled.
"Thanks for doing Aladdin," Nazz smiled back. "That's my favorite movie."
"Yeah, Aladdin's great," Cindy smiled before looking soft and sad. "Shame about Mr. Williams though..."
"I know, I miss him too," Jimmy agreed about the actor who played Genie in the Disney version of the play. "Well, we better get ready for auditions right now. I mean, I heard that Jo and Justine won't be trying out to star in it this year."
"What?!" Cindy asked. "That's a surprise even for me."
"Eh, they probably need a break after Phantom of the Opera and Beauty and the Beast..." Jimmy shrugged.
"They're good," Nazz replied. "Oh! Speaking of which..." she then said as Justine suddenly came, as if on cue.
"Hey, guys, I'm glad you're here," Justine smiled to the others. "Is your sign-up sheet for auditions full yet?"
"Not yet, why?" Cindy replied.
"They don't know about this yet, but could you put Justin and Jayna down?" Justine requested. "I want to make this a surprise for them."
"Well... I guess I could try..." Cindy shrugged. "Jimmy? Nazz?"
Jimmy brought out the sign-up sheet.
"Ah, thank you," Cindy smiled as she accepted the list and wrote it down. "Ya know, I wonder how Operetta's father at Monster High would feel about you and Jo being in Phantom of the Opera last time?"
"Oh, thank you, Cindy!" Justine beamed. "You're the best!"
"Aw, I don't know about that." Cindy replied bashfully.
"Good girl..." Justine smiled. "I'll remember this for generations."
Cindy shrugged and shuffled her feet.
"Uh, who's Operetta's father anyway, Cindy?" Nazz whispered.
"Oh, Erik, the Phantom of the Opera," Cindy replied. "Ya know... Monster High... Children of famous characters related to horror."
"Yep... There's a legend behind it..." A voice told them.
They turned around and saw a gothic girl wearing a Black Widow spider shirt with a skirt and had bone earrings and she was leaning against the wall.
"Vicki?" Nazz asked.
"Glad to see someone remembers me," Vicki commented. "I just had to get sick when that Spider Queen took over the school."
"What legend are you talking about?" Jimmy asked the goth girl.
"Every century, the Phantom comes to the theater for each play capture the lead character girl in to be his bride." Vicki informed.
"Really?" Cindy gulped.
"But of course," Vicki replied. "Everyone knows that the Phantom of the Opera never died, and has been around ever since the play and musical have been made. So, every 100 years, he comes lurking for the leading lady of the school play to keep her as his own. The last one was 1918, and now, with it being 2018, he shall come by opening night."
Jimmy and Cindy looked at each other and gulped.
"Well, we can still have the play," Nazz replied. "Come on, guys, the auditions will start pretty soon."
"I better tell Justin and Jayna the good news," Justine decided. "See ya, guys."
"Bye!" Cindy waved to her.
"Don't say I didn't warn you..." Vicki said, gravely serious.
Meanwhile in Study Hall...
"You did what?!" Justin asked his twin sister.
"I signed you up to be in the play for Aladdin." Justine repeated.
"Justine, why?" Justin asked.
"What's the big deal?" Justine replied. "I thought you'd be excited! You're perfect to be Aladdin, you're handsome, brave, funny, and adventurous!"
"But you didn't even ask me..." Justin said.
"Jayna is going to try-out to be Princess Jasmine." Justine bribed.
"Of course she is..." Justin groaned. "Justine?!"
"Oh, come on, at least you two can kiss on stage." Justine smirked.
"Well, that would be nice, but... I don't know..." Justin said.
"Pretty please for your little sister...?" Justine begged as she gave the puppy dog pout.
Justin narrowed his eyes. "Seriously?"
"Just try telling me no." Justine pouted.
"Easy, I can-" Justin was about to decline.
Justine soon whimpered like a cute little puppy.
"Jus..." Justin found himself lost for his words. "I... Uh... Ah... Wah..."
Justine got closer to her twin brother and still acted like a cute puppy.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Justin begged. "I can't take it anymore! I'll do it."
"Really?!" Justine beamed.
"Yes..." Justin sighed in defeat. "Man, you're brutal with those puppy dog eyes."
"It's a special talent, and it works on Jo all the time," Justine smirked. "She thinks it's adorable."
"I bet she does..." Justin rolled his eyes. "Now, are you gonna tell Jayna about being Jasmine then?"
"Yes, don't worry, Bro, I owe you big time for this." Justine promised.
"You had better..." Justin sighed. "Oh, well, at least I know One Jump Ahead by heart."
Justine smiled and then hugged her twin brother in thanks.
The bell rang and everyone went to their next class, but stopped in the hallway to talk to each other.
Justine saw Jayna at her locker. "Jayna!" she then called out to the female Wonder Twin.
Jayna then got into a fighting stance, looking around, then looked to Justine. "Oh, it's just you, Justine, what's down?"
"You mean 'what's up?'." Justine corrected.
"Right," Jayna replied. "What'd I say?"
"Well, I just signed you up to be in a play called Aladdin." Justine informed.
"You signed me up for the play...?" Jayna asked. "Justine, why did you do that?"
"Well, because Justin is going to audition to be Aladdin, and I figured that you could audition as Jasmine." Justine replied.
"Couldn't you have just asked me first?" Jayna asked.
"Well, I just wanted it to be a surprise, and besides, this means you guys will be able to kiss on stage." Justine replied.
"That would be nice..." Jayna smiled at the idea of kissing Justin. "Okay, I guess I can do it."
"You're not mad, are you?" Justine asked.
"No, I just kinda wish you told me before you decided to sign me up, I mean, I don't know if I can be actress material..." Jayna shrugged.
"You can do this; I have faith in you." Justine supported.
Jayna smiled to her boyfriend's sister who smiled back.
At the auditorium, Jimmy, Nazz, and Cindy were doing auditions.
"Okay, first up for the part of Aladdin: Eddy Sampson." Nazz announced.
"This should be... Interesting..." Cindy commented.
Eddy came up on stage and straightened himself out. "I want to be Aladdin." he then told them.
"Okay, show us what you got." Cindy told him.
Eddy nodded as he then got himself ready. "Don't worry, Princess Jasmine, I'll save you from Jafar!" he then called out, trying to sound brave and heroic.
"Um... Okay, Eddy..." Cindy blinked. "Very good... Next..."
They took a while for auditions, some they liked, some they didn't.
"Okay, Justin Reid, you're next." Nazz announced.
"I hope this doesn't take too long," Jimmy frowned. "I gotta watch the Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show!"
"Good luck, Justin; you need it, I have faith in you." Justine told her brother.
Justin soon came next on stage.
"Okay, Justin, whenever you're ready." Nazz told him.
"And no cheating by taking your shirt off." Cindy added.
"Though we wouldn't mind seeing that anyway." Jimmy smiled bashfully.
"I know..." Cindy replied. "Uh, ahem, I mean, go ahead, Justin."
"Um... Right..." Justin sighed as he decided to audition by singing Aladdin's parts of A Whole New World.
Cindy, Jimmy, and Nazz sniffled to that and even wiped their eyes.
"Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!" Cindy beamed.
"Did you like it?" Justin asked.
"We loved it!" Cindy beamed. "We'll call you, but you should definitely hear from us."
"Wow, thanks, guys." Justin smiled.
"All right, our last audition for the leading lady: Joanna Bell." Nazz announced.
"Joanna Bell?" Cindy and Jimmy repeated.
Jayna soon came on stage with her human disguise.
"Oh... Her... Right." Cindy giggled.
"Hi, I'm here for the part of Jasmine." Jayna waved.
"Okay, give it your best shot, dudette." Nazz told her.
Jayna soon cleared her throat and made a monologue for Princess Jasmine to audition with. She then began to sing which shocked everyone.
"So beautiful..." Jimmy whispered.
"No... Words..." Cindy added.
"I'm so stunned," Nazz said. "I wish I could sing that well."
"Oh, uh, I was that bad, huh?" Jayna asked as she stopped singing only to see everyone else in shock.
"No, no, no, Jayna, you were amazing!" Cindy told the female Wonder Twin. "I mean, you might even have outdone Linda Larkin herself from the Disney movie!"
"Oh, thanks." Jayna smiled.
"Thank you, everyone, and we will have the final list up during lunch time." Nazz told her fellow students.
"So be there or be square..." Cindy winked.
Everyone was excited about who was going to be Aladdin and Jasmine.
